This Chiroso lot is a rare rediscovery from Tolima’s highlands at 1,850 meters. Scientifically linked to Ethiopian landraces, its flavor profile of florals, fruit, and tea recalls its exotic heritage and earned acclaim in the 2012 Colombia Cup of Excellence. Today, Sandoval's small 3‑hectare farm continues to elevate quality in every bag.
